Rock the Cakey Vote
Okay, it's time for a little shameless self-promotion. AND how YOU can help us make fools out of ourselves in public... again (see below). But first, a little background...
The ECG doesn't get out much. Her uniform is torn jeans and a flannel shirt. Dressing up to go out is cruel and unusual punishment for her. That's why, when she agrees to go to any event that requires her to wear girl-clothes it must be important. And this...dear minions...is important. Maybe some of you thought it would be funny to see her try to walk in heels, or maybe you just wanted to give a shout out to all the hard work we put in over here at ECG...either way, you've done it. You've nominated us for Best Retailer at the American Cake Awards, which results in her leaving her cozy hidey-hole to attend said-awards, thus, by the transitive property, resulting in her having to wear girl clothes for an evening.
In trying to make the best of the situation, the ECG has decided that if she has to dress up, she'd kind of like to leave with something to show for it, which puts us here...in Shameless-Self-Promoting land. So here's the deal. If you're one of the many who love the products that she's created in her cakey lair, or have experienced some pretty-damn good customer service from the ol' crew over here, we'd love if you could take a second to vote (or 3 seconds, to vote 3 times) for us in this contest.
And to thank you...the ECG has decided to let you, her loyal minions decide on some ridiculous stunt that she and her crew will do in case of a victory. A pie in the face, a full crew Wednesday Dance? We'll be taking suggestions by email and social media for the next week. And just in case you think we're not up for it...here's a little humiliating video for your consideration.
On a serious note...the ECG and her crew are really touched by this nomination. We run this place as though we were the customers, and treat our minions like what they are...our partners in cakey-crime. It was a lovely surprise to hear that so many of you nominated us for this award, and for that we'd like to say Thank You. We're not crying, you're crying.
If you have the time, and think we really are the best, please take a minute to vote here.
